On the whole ride my brows are furled the whole time. I have picked up the Audi R8 Cóupe before I had to my next destination. I know exactly where the freelance street racers are meeting. And I know that they are not the most reliable persons in the entire city, but I have to start with something ... or someone. My fingers are wrapped tightly around the steering wheel and my teeth are clenched. This whole thing is already getting out of control, but I want to bring down this asshole John Dillinger. I bring my car to halt in front of CJ's car shop and its door opens immediately. My eyebrows shoot up as soon as I see her. She's wearing a white and really tight fabric trouser and a pink tank top. It doesn't really much room for any imaginations. I shake my head because just such thoughts are nor really appropriate because I am a married woman. I take a deep breath as I get out of my new car.
She is eyeing it and smiles broadly. "Nice car. Maura is really big-hearted, huh?"
I roll my eyes and cross my arms over my chest. "What makes you think that I didn't bought it myself?"
She scoffs and nod at the Audi when she walks around it. "Let me take a look under the hood."
I arche an brow and do as she said. "Won't you buy me a drink first," I ask as the backside jumps open. I round the car, too, and swallow hard as she's inspecting the engine closely.
She looks over her shoulder and smirks when she notices that I look everywhere but at her. "Yeah, I can work with that. I also can remove the cruise control. If you want me to."
I nod absentmindedly and when her words sink in, and I furl my eyebrows. "Yeah ... What? Wait. No! I didn't say that we'll work together."
She straightens up again and turns with a raised chin back to me. She's crossing her arms over her chest. "Alright, tell me what to do when a car with an V-10 engine needs to be repaired or when it needs to be upgraded."
"Well," I reply and she raises her brows. I huff resigned. "I have no idea."
She smiles smugly. "And you don't have many options, Jane, do you?"
I growl low and snort. "Fine, we're working together."
"I can start today," she states.
I shake my head in disagreement. "No, I need the Audi today."
She looks skeptically at me. "For what?"
I take a deep breath and tell her my new plan.
CJ stares at me like I have lost my mind and like a monkey is sitting on my shoulder. "Are you insane," she ask with an high-pitched voice. "Why don't you ask your friends to have your back?"
I lick my lips and frown. "Because I finally wanna close this damn case. And I need more persons in this scene than just you. No offense."
She takes a deep breath and walks to the passenger's door. "All right, but I'm coming with you."
I nod agreeing and walk to the driver's door. "Fine," I grumble again and sit down on the seat.
She looks at me and smiles.
I roll my eyes and start the car.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"You really must have lost your mind." CJ says when we arrive in the area of the Singing Beach. "But I am impressed that you still remember the place."
I smile and see all the pimped cars already. It has to be a big party, please just not another birthday party. "I have an excellent memory." I take a deep breath. "CJ, you really don't have to be here."
"And who should save your ass when you're in trouble, huh?"
I scoff and shake my head as I maneuver the Audi on the parking lot. Here I picked up CJ for the very first time. "And what do you think you're doing when three of those guys are attacking me?"
"I'll strip," she simply replies.
I furl my eyebrows and turn my head with an disbelieving expression to my right. How the hell should that save me? Okay, it could give me enough time to get into the car and to drive off, but then what about CJ?
She chuckles and gives me a good shove. "It was a joke. They won't attack you when I'm at your side. I know the most of them."
I smile broadly and turn off the engine. "Why am I not surprised at all?"
She shrugs and nods at the windshield. "Well, I can tell you that we have their attention now."
I glance out of the windshield and can see that everybody is staring at us. Well, I somehow can understand it. The cars on the parking lot are just pimped Toyotas, Fords, VWs and other brands that I also could afford. I sigh and open the driver's door and CJ does the same with her own door..
A man with Hispanic roots comes up to us and eyes us. "And who the hell are you?"
CJ opens her mouth to answer the question, but then she stops as he holds his hand up.
I roll my eyes. Does the freelance racers really have a leader, too? I sigh heavily and point at myself. "My name is Jane Valluzi."
He nods slowly. "Your name sounds familiar."
"Didn't she drove for the Irish Freedom?" A woman shouts from afar.
He narrows his eyes and steps closer.
I blink for a couple of times, but I don't step back. "It's true. I was a driver of the Beckett brothers."
"Tory Beckett is dead," he states.
I take a deep breath and nod agreeing. "Yeah, I heard about that."
A red haired man steps out of the crowd. He's tall and looks like he's about to rip off my head. "Tanja Stiller is dead, too. She was a friends of mine."
I hold his gaze but my heart is dropping. Shit. Tanja Stiller, a name I haven't heard for quite a while. She got killed during my first undercover operation as a street racer. She tried to do the right thing and got killed by Tory and his buddy Toben. I lick my lips and sigh. "Yeah," I agree. "She was my friend, too."
"What about Liam and Xander? They're dead, too." Replies a woman with brown hair.
My facial muscles are twitching and I point at my chest. "I was in jail when Xander got killed." Liar.
The spokesman takes another step toward me. "Seems like everyone around you dies or gets arrested." He growls.
I clench my teeth but I hold his piercing gaze. "I know."
"Hey," CJ interferes and steps between him and me. "Enough! And your allegation is not true. What about Ben? And I feel pretty alive, too."
Each of them turn their heads to her.
She smirks and shrug. "I feel great."
I'm sighing in relief. Well, she has a point. She's still alive because I reacted on her call and went to her cabin where a hitman was waiting for her.
The spokesman steps back and he furl his eyebrows. "So, what do you want from us, Jane Valluzi?"
I furrow my brows. Now it starts to make sense! Now I start to see the big picture. Everyone who helped me, knowingly or unknowingly, died or got arrested. I smoothed the way for Dillinger. They died because of me. I furl my brows and look long at him. "I think someone wants to checkmate me. And I need backup." I tell him truthfully.
CJ shoots me a confused look and she furl her eyebrows, too.
I point at her and I lick my lips. "Before I went to jail, CJ gave me a call. A hitman waited for her at her cabin because we kept in touch." I say and her jaw drops to the ground. I remember the guy in front of my house and I grit my teeth. "I want backup. I need backup. I want to get ... revenge for all of their deaths. It is my fault, but I can't bring them back. I ... I just want to keep those I love safe."
"And who would that be?" He asks.
I open my mouth to answer his question, but then I close it again.
"Me," CJ says and walks over to me. She wraps her arms around my neck and frowns. Her eyes are saying I'm sorry, but I'm trying to save your ass right now. "She's trying to keep me safe."
She isn't so wrong, though. I really try to keep her safe and sound.
CJ pulls my head down and closes the last gap of our lips.
I have to resist the urge to push her away. Pictures of Maura are flashing through my head and I pull CJ closer. I growl and deepen the kiss. It only last a moment before she breaks the kiss again.
What the hell? The kiss lasted only for a couple of seconds and it felt really wrong. I open my eyes and swallow hard.
She looks apologetically at me, but I think she's seeing something else in my eyes. "She wants to protect us, Chase."
I clench my teeth and sigh. Chase, what I think is his nickname, takes a deep breath and nods slowly. It seems like everybody does like CJ. "All right,what's our yield?"
I drag my eyes to Chase and furrow my brows. "Fifty percent of my winnings." I say out loud and a hum goes through the rows. "Fifty percent for everyone who is supporting me. I'll drive for Ben Everman and all of you know that he pays good money."
Chase crosses his arms over his chest. "And what do you want from us?"
"I only want your loyalty." I answer and look at each of them. "I want your word. And everyone who's betraying me can expect that my revenge will come hard and merciless. I will hunt you and I will find you. The only thing I want to have is your loyalty."
Chase takes a deep breath and nods agreeing. "I think you got your crew."
I exhale slowly through my mouth and smile. That's more than I thought I would get. But thanks to CJ I got a entire crew.
She looks at me and smiles broadly.
"No one's gonna hurt CJ. Money isn't important," Chase says.
I furrow my brows but smile. "She's a handful." I laugh as she climbs in the car.
"Yes, she is." He laughs and we shake our hands. "Take good care of her. We all love her."
I smile broadly and nod. "I will. I promise."

I drove straight to the precinct after I have dropped off CJ. I know I shouldn't have enjoyed kissing CJ like I did. I stomp down the hallway of the lab.
"Oh," I hear Susie say as soon as she spots me. "Dr. Isles in her -"
I am in Maura's office before the younger woman can finish the sentence. I slam the door shut and lock it. I close the blinds and walk up to the surprised blonde beauty who is sitting at her desk. I can see her questioningly gaze.
Maura gets up from her chair as I tug on her hands and she frowns. "Jane, what is wrong?"
I don't say a word and lift her with ease on her desk. I am about to break my own rule. To never have a sexual encounter at work.
She's gasping and opens her legs a little more.
"I want you," I growl as I step in between them.
She bites her lower lip and frowns slightly. "And what about your rule?"
"To hell with that." I growl again as I rip her panties aside. "I made it, I'll break it."
She swallows back a moan when I run my thumb over her clit.
I stop when I see the deep frown on her forehead and furl my eyebrows. "What is it? Don't you want me?"
She licks her lips and takes a deep breath. "Not like that."
I take a step backwards and frown myself. Not like that? What the hell? Then in what way?
She runs her hands over my neck and smiles a little. I know that she can see my confusion in my eyes. "I'm your wife, Jane. You don't have to claim me."
I tilt my head to the side and my frown deepens. Right. She's my wife. I am married to her. What the hell is happening to my brain right now.
She's pushing me on my shoulders down until I'm kneeling in front of her. "You don't wanna leave me unsatisfied now, do you?"
I look up at her and arche an brow, shaking my head. I have to admit that skirts really have their benefits... when Maura is wearing them. I push her panties down and bury my head between her legs. I can hear Maura sighing in relief and the deep moan that escapes from her throat. I love the sounds she's making when I bury my head between her legs and that she's running a hand through my hair everytime I go down on her.
I accidentally grunt as I pull her closer to my face and I run my hands over her bare thighs.
She whimpers and starts to roll her hips in the rhythm of my tongue.
I groan deeply and suck on her clit. I know that she it's getting hard for her to stifle her moans because she digs her nails into my shoulders. I gather every single drop on my tongue that is coming out of her and I growl again as she opens her legs even more.
"Oh," she whispers. "God."
I'm holding her at her hips in place and suck harder on her clit. I know she likes it and I can feel her arching her back.
Her whole body went rigid and a really deep moan passes her lips before she's pushing my head gently away.
I look back up at her and wipe my mouth with the back of my hand, grinning broadly.
Maura keeps her eyes closed and tries to calm her breath again.
I get back up on my feet and kiss her gently.
She moans once again when she's tasting herself on my lips. She pulls away and searches confused my eyes. "You broke your own rule. What happened, Jane?"
I furl my eyebrows and open my mouth, but I close it again immediately. I certainly can't tell her that I have to pretend that CJ is my girlfriend. She would freak out. Hell, even I am freaking out at the thought. I take a deep breath and look deep into hazel eyes. "I needed to see you."
"To claim me on my desk," she asks with a smile.
"Uh," I say and furrow my eyebrows. "Well ... You seemed to enjoy it."
Maura is still smiling and shrugs. "I really did. But you took me by surprise."
I sigh heavily. "I know, and I'm sorry."
She smiles again and kisses me once more. "Don't be. It was a good surprise."
"Good," I reply and smirk. "Because I love you."
Her smile grows bigger. "I love you too, Jane."

I sit at the bar counter in the Dirty Robber and sip my beer. I take a deep breath and stare at the muted TV. Someone is sitting down next to me and orders a beer. I turn my head to the side and a smile plays around my lips.
Frankie looks over at me and chuckles.
I smile and shake my head. "Frost brought you into the loop?"
He nods his head and sips his own beer. "You can bet. Why didn't you tell me that you're going undercover again?"
I'm sighing heavily and I pick at the beer label before I order a round of shots. "I didn't think that you want to be involved again."
"You can be more than sure that I wanna be involved again," he huff and downs the tequila shot. "And now tell me the real reason, Jane."
I roll my eyes and down my own shot. "I don't need a virtuecrat." I answer honestly.
My brother chokes on his beer and frowns. "Excuse me," he asks with an high-pitched voice.
I sigh heavily and turn my whole body to him. "Look, Frankie. It's not like I don't trust you or that I'm not thinking that you are not able to cope with the things that I am about to do." I take a deep breath and furrow my eyebrows. "This case is more complicated than I thought and I will have to make decisions that you won't agree with, and things that you won't agree with. And I don't want to put you in a situation when you'll maybe start to motivation."
He's scrutinizing my face and frowns a little. "All right. But when you need help, you cone straight to me."
I smile and sip my beer with a nod. "Sure thing."
He sighs heavily and nods as well.

When I finally arrive at home the entire house is dark. I know that it's late and I am glad that Maura really hasn't waited for me. I slip out of my boots and place them at the front door. I don't want to make more noises than it's really necessary. I sigh and pull my shirt over my head as I make my way to the stairs. I don't care that I am still at the first floor, no one else then Maura and I are in the house. I make my way down the hallway to our bedroom. I crack the door open and am relieved that the bedroom is dark as well.
After I have changed into my sleeping clothes I lay down on the bed and snuggle up to my beloved wife. I wrap my left arm around her middle.
Maura sighs sleepily and she pulls me closer.
I frown and relax against her body.
"You are late," she mumbles.
I kiss her neck. "Keep on sleeping. I'm home now."
She places her hand over mine and nods already half asleep. "Good night, Jane."
I smile a little and inhale her scent, "Night, Maura. I love you."
"I love you too," she mumbles and I have to stifle my laugh.
